Pfaff machine stitches using our 3D Embroidery

Viking gave us an update to our program that allows us to use the Pfaff machine stitches as well as the Viking ones we already had. Make sure your 3D Embroidery program is updated to 7.25. You can do this with your “Smart Update” in the “configure” part of your program.

**Finding the stitches and putting them where you can use them.

Open the "explorer". Then click on the "+" in front of 3D Embroidery.

Click on the "+" in front of System.

Click on the "+" in front of "fonts" and it will open up and reveal a list and in the middle is "Machine P". That's the Pfaff stitches.

Click on that folder so you can see what is inside of it on the right side of the screen.

Hold down the "control key and the A key" to highlight all of them. Then drag those files to the folder called "Special". This folder only had Hebrew and Greek in it so these stitches will be easy to find there.


Now when you open your program and click on "letter" tab on the bottom right, you can click on the "special" category at the top and you will see all of those category of Pfaff stitches listed for you to choose.

To find the pdf file so you can print it out to know what letter to type for each stitch, open the "explorer". Then click on the "+" in front of 3D Embroidery.

Click on the "+" in front of "guides". This opens the guides folder and you will see other folders there.

Click on the yellow folder itself called "Sample". At the very bottom, you will see "machine fonts guide P.pdf"


When I try to print this out, it only gives one worthless page. But, some people actually got the full file of 36 pages to print out to show what keyboard character to type to get each stitch.

Lots of people had this problem so you may have to ask your dealer or a friend or Viking.
To get that information so you can print out the pages.
